In particular, the front end has been fabricated using a cost-effective digital 0.18- complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and fed with only 1 V. The prototype contains a transimpedance amplifier, a continuous-time equalizer, and an output driver. Experimentally, we have obtained 1.25-Gb/s transmission for a simple nonreturn-to-zero modulation in an optical link composed of 50 m of SI-POF and a large area Si PIN photodetector. 000148982 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/TEC2008-05455/TEC 000148982 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000148982 590__ $$a2.038$$b2012 000148982 591__ $$aENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC$$b46 / 243 = 0.189$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000148982 591__ $$aOPTICS$$b18 / 80 = 0.225$$c2012$$dQ1$$eT1 000148982 591__ $$aPHYSICS, APPLIED$$b37 / 128 = 0.289$$c2012$$dQ2$$eT1 000148982 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000148982 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2874-6368$$aAldea, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148982 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0182-7723$$aCelma, S.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148982 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3629-0540$$aAznar, F.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148982 7102_ $$12004$$2X$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
